The Engineer Part 1

"Wilson, is the remote ready?" Major Morgenstern repeated, walking further into the laboratory.

"Major Morgenstern!" Wilson says in joy, "Yes, sir. I believe I have found the problem," Wilson told the Major, glancing down at Data, "Mr. Data noticed a problem on the blueprints for the remote. With his help, I believe we have fixed the problem."

The Major smiled. "Excellent, Wilson," the Major said, pleased. He glanced down at Data, "If you would like to accompany us Data to test out your changes, you're more than welcome," he offered to the young boy.

Data felt a warm feeling in his body, a feeling he hadn't felt in a while. The last time he could remember feeling this warmth was when he and his mom visited his sister in New York and took them to the robotics lab. There he met the robotics professor and impressed him with his knowledge of robotics. The professor had gone on to let him help design a robot he was engineering. The feeling of warmth had settled in his chest.

"I would love to come along, Major Morgenstern," Data replied, a bright smile on his lips.

"Excellent. Gather your things, Wilson. The wagon is waiting outside the Hall," Major Morgenstern said. The Major gives a nod to Data and marches out of the laboratory, leaving the two engineers alone.

"I'll gather the blueprints and safeguard the remote, Data," Wilson said to Data while placing his hand on the boy's shoulder, "You go get the tools. We will finish the finishing touches on the way."

Data nodded his head, following Wilson's order. He walked across the laboratory to grab the toolbox and followed the man out of the laboratory.

The two engineers walked side by side down the hallway. Their hands grasping papers and boxes.

Wilson led Data through the Hall.

He led the boy to one of the uncommon exits of the Hall, and outside of the wooden single door there stood a wooden wagon with a pale coloured fabric tied over top to keep the elements off what laid inside. And tied to the front of the wagon were two beautiful brown horses.

"Get on, Wilson. We need to get to the field before dinner," Major Morgenstern says, walking past Wilson and Data. He climbed up onto the bench, taking the horse's reins into his hands.

"Get on you two," he told Wilson and Data.

Data walked with Wilson to the wagon.

Wilson placed the blueprints in the back as Data climbed inside.

While Wilson jumped onto the bench alongside the Major, Data crawled through the wagon, the blueprints and toolbox in his arms, to sit right near the bench behind the two older men.

Major Morgenstern snapped the reins and the horses began to trot. The wagon rolled behind the beautiful steeds. And while the Major steered the wagon, Wilson was making the changes to the remote with Data's help.
